THE 114th NEW YORK
At the Battles Of Pleasant Hill and Sabine Cross
roads.

rOdus.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade G..
NJ. Hensey says: At the battle of Pleasant
Hill, La, April 8, 1864, Dwight's Brigade,
Nineteenth Corps, gave way and permitted the
enemy 70 pass around Col Shaw's flank and
gain his rear" The comrade / know is mis-
taken, for Dwights Brigade never fell back
that day. My regiment-the 114th ". Y.-be-
longed to the brigade and was the left regi-
ment. Some troops on our left fell back, and
Gen. Dwight ordered Maj Curtiss in person to
change his front to the left so as to protect the
left of t& brigade. The regiment lost three
men killed while making the change. There
were some Of the Sixteenth Corps in our front
when the battle began, but they soon fell back
through our lines. The comrade is very much
mistaken when he says Dwight's Brigade gave
way. We held very nearly the same position
when the battle was over that we occupied
when il began. The New York Herald, in CIV
ing an account Of the battle, said: THE enc
my made seven distinct charges on Gen.
Dwight's lines, and the ll4th, 10th and 153d
New York repulsed them every time"
ID. II. Prater, Co. ID, both ILL.,, in the same
paper says the First and Second Brigades,
Fourth Division, Thirteenth Corps, fought the
battle Of Sabine Crossroads April 8, 1864.
wish TO ask the cOmrade If he knows what
troops came 10 their assistance just before sun
setI Ii Is true the Nineteenth Corps did go
into camp seven miles back; but our camping
was very short for the order soon came to be
ready to march in 10 minutes, and we did
march that seven miles in one hour aud 10
minutes. When we got on the field the
cavalry and infantry were getting out as fast as
possible. We formed line under the most try
ing circumstances. The cavalry and Thirteenth
Corps were rushing through our ranks, and the
men had to dodge TO keep from being trampled
under the horses feet. We formed our lines,
and when the enemy came we sent them back
faster than they advanced, and held our ground,
until after dark, when we fell back to Pleasant
Hill and finished the battle there the next day.
But for the arrival Of the Nineteenth Corps the
cavalry and the Thirteenth Corps would not
have saved one wagon Of their trains. The
Hath n. Y. was the regiment that killed Gen.
Mouton. Just at dark he and his staff rode up
in front of the Hath, thinking we had fallen
back. When they discovered who we were he
attempted to get out, but we poured a volley
into them, killing the General and nearly his
entire staff. NJ. MEAD, Co. L, Hath y. Y,

last battle of the war, namely, huntsville, Ca,
May 10. 1865, at the time of the capture of
JEFF Davis. He thinks Comrade Kent
Stretches the blanket" at both ends in re-

81 men, and COL Pritchard. 4th Mich. Cav,

rade Barger is correct in regard to the battle of
Columbus, Ga, which he thinks was the last of
the war. It took place at 10 o'clock on the
night Of April is, 1865. The assault on the
rebel works by the Sd Iowa Cav. was led by
Gen. John w. Noble, of st. Lonis. IL was a
daring charge, and was completely successful.

Washington News,

WAsHzNeToN, February Ga qnes-
lion has arisen and has been laid be-
fore, the President late this afternoon,
as to TIE power to appoint the inter-
State commerce commissioners, after
the adjournment Of the Senate. 1t is
held OF, one side that the power con-
ferred by the constitution TO FIJI
vacancies which may happen during
the vacation of the Senate does not
cover the right to appoint to newly
created officer which is to be filed By
and with the advice and consent Of the
Senate. Itis understood that Senator's
Harris and Pugh are smozg the
number who so believe. and
that Senator PUgh called upon the
President this afternoon to direct his
attention to the matter. On the other
hand, it is argued that the vacancy
"happens'S as much by the act of crea-
ton as by the death or resignation of
an Incumbent, and there are believed
TO be decisions by the Attorney -GeneraI
covering points to the effect that the
President has power to appoint.
The general deficiency appropriation
bill reported to the House to-day,
makes total appropriation of s. 573,-

HOUSE

The Speaker laid before the House
message from the President, returning
without his approval, the bill for the
relief of the late John Howe. Referred
to the committee on claims.
The Speaker also laid before the
house a message from the Senate an
nouncing the passage by. that body
over the Presidents veto OF the bill for
the relief of Thomas II. Hopkins. The
bill and the Presidents message were
referred to the committee on invalid
pensions.
Hatch (Missouri) asked unanimous
consent that the House nen-concur in

Morrison objected and the bill was
referred to the COMMITTEES on sgricul-
on motion of Belmont New York;
the House insisted on its amendments
toSthe Senate retaliation bill and Bel
mont. Clements and Rice were APP
pointed coDferees.
Hatch (Missouri) moved to suspend
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1887-02-26

the rules and pass the Senate bill pro.
vidfng for agricultural experiment
stations.
Randall (Pennsylvania) said that
during the last six days of the session
| the question of recognition for the pur-
| pose of moving to suspend the rules was
within the discretion of the Speaker Re
asked the right of way from members
for appropriation bills. and he hoped
the chair would not recognize the gen
| rleman to move a suspension Of the
rules until those bills had been disposed
of.
Hatch suggested that after the read
ing of the journal it was in order for
any mamb'r to secure the floor to suS-
pend the rules The SpeaGer stated
that during the last six days of the
session it was in order for a gentleman
to move a suspension of the rules at
any time when he could get the floor
for that purpose, but the natter of
recognition rested entirely in the dis
erection of the chair, but at this stage OF
the session the chair thought it to be
his duty to give the right of way to
appropriation bills, which must be
passed in order to avoid an extra ses-
sion. The Chair, therefore would not
enter into general business of recogni
ton OF motions to suspend the rules Il
the appropriation bills were disposed of:
but the Chair having recognized the
gentleman from Missouri, the motion of
that gentleman was now in order.
The bill was then read.
O'Nein (Mssouri) said the House
insists that wisdom had blended the
two subjects OF agriculture and labor.
The moment the bill was presented
with COW print upon it, it was
passed. But when the committee
on labor endeayored to secure action
upon bills relating to labor, it was met
with objections. He protested against
this unfair treatment. ssh
Hatch's motion to suspend the rules
and pass the bill was agreed to, 125 to
ID
Burnes EMissouri), from the commit
tee on appropriations reported the de-
hCiency appropriation bill. and it was
referred to the committee of the whole.
ToWnshend (Illiuois), submitted the
conference report on the involved pen
sion appropriation bill, and it was
agreed to. The only points of differ
ence were in regard TO the pensions for
the Office of pension agent. AS agreed
to, the bill appropriates $4,000 for the
rent of such offices, and requires public
buildings for the occupancy of pension
agencies, when possible.
The House went inte committee of
the whole on the naval appropriation
bills.
The committee, after debate, adopted
the amendment apprUpriating 5000 900
for repairs to the Hartford, Kear$drGe,
Trenton, Swortara, Thetis, Nepsic, RicI-
nond, Enterprise.
Pending further consideration of this
bill the committee rose.
Herbert asked unanimous consent
that the session of the House be ex-
tended until the consideration of the
naval appropriation bill was com
pleted.
WoIford (Keptucky), objected, and
upon motion of Herbert, by a vote of
yeas AZ. nays 100, the House adjourned.
thus dispensing with the usual Friday
night session for pension bills.

CHICAGO, February 25.-The general
meeting OF railway managers of the
west concluded to-day, having done
nothing beyond adopting the following
resolutions, prepared and submitted by
the committee appointed yesterday:
Whereas, This committee, composed of
representatives of the various traffic asso-
Citations operating in the territory west,
northwest and southwest from Chicago and
> Louis, was appointed to formulate
recommendations as to uniform methods of
transportation in conformity with the inter-
state commerce Wand,
Whereas, The committee, after free in
terchange OF views, while not fully agreed
to the strict Interpretation of the law, are
unanimously Ofthe opinion that
EARNEST EXPORTS SHOULD BE MADE
to comply with its several requirements in
good faith, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we recommend that the
various western railways meet either in sec
ton orfn the association with which they
are connected, for the purpose of correcting
their tariffs and methods in conformity with
the requiremen of law, to tke end that the
commerce Of the country shall be conducted
IN manner conducive to the pubic inter
est,and the preservation OF railwaI revenues.
THE GENERAL PASSENGER AGzNTs
of the Central Traffic Association. who
have been in session the past two days
to formulate their ideas on the inter
state commerce bill, have arrived at .
about the same conclusions as the west
ern men-namely, that the law pro-
hibits all specia. rates, theatrical r&5es,
passes, etc., except those distinctly mem
toned in the act. The agents VIII so
recommend to their managers.
